A paper has been circulated on the appointment of an adviser. Members are asked whether they are content with the job description. If they have any candidates in mind, they should notify Stephen Imrie and the clerking team. Are there any comments on either issue?
I am probably asking a stupid question because I have not been a committee member before. Does the adviser tend to be an academic, or can they come from anywhere, including from within private industry?
My view is that advisers could come from anywhere, but I might be slightly biased on that. I do not think that there are any constraints.
No, there are no constraints. The only thing to check is whether candidates are able to deliver, given their other commitments and potential conflicts of interest. Advisers tend to come from academia, but there is no restriction. The positions are open to all candidates, wherever they come from.
Are colleagues happy with the remit and looking for some ideas on names?
